... and here’s how my 301 looked:



Before turning into this (still with the V15 IV here):


Man I love the finish that's on your 301 (can't tell my buddy I prefer it to his off-white though:hushed:):thumbsup:

@richie60 , Music Direct still has my 740 and I highly recommend it for $350. As I mentioned the Micro Line stylus really digs into the groove and since it's virtually the same type tip as the cutter I find it to really pull all the music out and accurately reproduce it just like it was cut in:wink:

Looks like a 440MLb with the added benefit of a metal body :)

Yeah not sure how much the 440 runs but IMHO the 740 is a flat out steal for $350:wink: It tracks like a seasoned Blood Hound:rolling_eyes:

Nice looking table and a great price. Did you investigate the U-Turn TT? I know it doesn't have an auto stop.

I bought a U-turn as well so I could compare the two. I've decided the Monolith is better for everyday use, not only because of the auto-stop but also because the removable headshell design makes it much faster and easier to swap cartridges. Plus I don't have to take the belt off to change speeds.

I like the U-turn though. I have nothing bad to say about it. The Monolith with its convenience features just fits my life a little better right now.

Smart fella'.:) You did it the right way. Congrats!

Yes, very easy to use and incredible customer service. Everything was perfectly set and ready to go right out of the box. Cart aligned, counterweight was perfect, they even installed the arm lifter even though I had ordered it separately.

If I wasn't a habitual cart swapper I'd probably have kept it. I'll probably give it to my mother-in-law when I'm done playing with it. I'm just not ready yet, it's too cool.

So I got frustrated with the Q-Up too many times so I've stepped up to the "Little Fwend" and what a precision instrument, well worth the investment and at my age if it's past 8PM I can dose off after drinking a couple espresso's:fearful:
